The frequency of the
scattered photon decreases or it will be lower compare to the frequency of
incident photon. An x-ray photon scatters in one direction after a collision
and some energy is transferred to the electron as it recoils in another
direction resulting to have less energy in the scattered photon. In addition, the
frequencies will also depend on the differences of the angle at which the
scattered photon leaves the collision and this incident is called Compton Effect.
